Meeting an Old Dusty Crow
The sun shines, rising from the horizon to signal a new day for everyone to enjoy and to start fresh. Kibo is packing somethings he'll need for the long journey, not entirely sure where's he going, but his master he always told him to follow the Seven Stars of Hokuto (The Big Dipper) to find where the North Star will lead him. He got himself a map of the country, toothbrush and phases, and some food that will last him a few days or more until he reaches the next town.
He walks out of his room of a hotel he was staying for the night, made his way outside where he finds Kokuoh waiting for him few feet away from the place. He learned more about the giant black horse; he used to belong to someone else when it was young a decade ago, he was a mighty warrior with a strong heart and go on adventures together. But one day, the warrior was caught with a deadly illness that can't be cursed, so he spends the last day with Kokuoh together before he died resting under the sunlight to where the village was nearby. Since then, Kokuoh decided to stay here in hoping of one day his new rider would come and Kibo is now that rider.
"Are you really going?" The little girl from yesterday asked, looking sad.
"Yes, as the 65th Successor of Hokuto Shinken, I walk down my own path as well as following the path of Hokuto, to find where my destiny takes me. Where my fists will help those in need." Kibo explained after being named the successor by his late master/grandfather at such a young age. Kibo must travel to see where life will take him.
"Will you come back to visit us?" The girl asked.
"I will, promise." Kibo answered with a soft smile, patting the girl's head making her smile.
Kibo got up onto Kokuoh after putting his bag on the side ready to start his new chapter of life, wondering if there will be strong fighters like Huntsmen and Huntresses that may prove a challenge to his fist. Kokuoh begin a fast pace for a few yards then began to run at his top speed as the girl waves goodbye seeing them off until she couldn't see them no more.
"So, he left, I wish him well on his travels." The Elder prayed walking to the girl's side.
"Does he really have to leave?" The girl asked feeling sad again like she has lost a new friend she just met.
"There's a legend that speaks 'Where Hokuto appears, Chaos Follows', even though he can stay here as long as he wants to, bearing the fists of Hokuto comes with a heavy burden because it's a killing art, strong warriors like him always attracts other men who're out blood of the innocent unintentionally. He's doing this to protect us and others, so they wouldn't die in the crossfire." The Elder explained the girl feels sad the Kibo maybe all alone out there besides Kokuoh with him, hope he'll make some friends out there in the world.
At a bar right across from the hotel, the man with a cape watched Kibo leaving and he finished his drink before leaving some liens for the drink and went off after him.
(Emerald Forest)
Kibo and Kokuoh have travel for a long time, about two days since they left the village and fought off some Grimm that came in their way. Kibo didn't even need to dismount Kokuoh seeing how the horse can handle himself well against the black creatures and killed some when they were close to Kibo, luckily thanks to his training he is even able to handle large Grimm like a Nevermore. There were some people they met along the way, helping them travel to a safe place while fighting some Grimm and bandits, they were thankful to them as they offer them some food. It felt good to help others and saving the blood of innocent, that is one of the main purpose of Hokuto Shinken.
"Sure, looks peaceful, huh, Kokuoh?" Kibo asked Kokuoh nodded his head agreeing that the world could be at peace like the forest.
Kibo smiles at the sight of the very tall trees and the clear blue sky, then he narrows his eyes as he senses something in the woods. Something or somene has been following him since the moment he and Kokuoh left the village to where they are now, this person may have hide well in the woods but Kibo can still sense his aura somewhere. Concentrating on where he could be and drag him out to see if he's an enemy or a good guy, he'll get the answer soon.
His shot his eyes open while he picks out an apple from the bag and threw up high at a tree nearly faster than a well-trained eye can see; hitting a tree branch breaking it off and falling to the down follow by a man with a flask in his hand. The man pulls out a sword from the back under his cape and pierce it into the tree slowing down his fall as the branch was standing on made a hard impact to the ground. Once the man stops falling, seeing as he is close enough to the ground, he pulls out his sword and stands right in front of Kibo and Kokuoh.
The man has graying black, spiky hair, red eyes, and slight stubble along his jawline. With a red, tattered cloak, he wears a gray dress shirt with a long tail, black dress pants, and black dress shoes. He also wears a ring on his right index finger, two other rings on his right fourth finger, and a necklace with a crooked cross-shaped pendant. His bangs are down as well.
"Well, didn't think you've finally notices me, I was getting a little lonely." The man joked Kibo wasn't very amuses.
"Who are you?" Kibo asked giving the man a serious stare.
"No need to be hostel kid, I was obverting you for pass two days, seeing how you can handle yourself in a fight against Grimm without any weapon at all. Impressive." The man said taking one more drink from his flask before putting it away.
"My friend knows about Hokuto Shinken, in fact he was friend with the last guy who was successor at the time. He wanted to give you a message." The man said.
"What's that?" Kibo asked decided to unmount himself from Kokuoh seeing as the man himself maybe drunk, but he can tell the man is very skilled in combat and has the experience in his eyes.
"Well, first I want to see for myself just how well you are with your fists against someone like me, then I'll give you the message. Shouldn't be too hard, like what you did to those bandits at that village." The man mentioned Kibo's fight against the bandits, Kibo sense some tensions from him of what he said about the bandits.
"I take it you're connected to them?" Kibo asked walking ahead of Kokuoh while telling to stay put.
"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not, that all depends on if you can beat me." The man stated.
Kibo gets in his battle stance ready for a fight as he sees the man reaching for his sword.
"The name's Qrow, in case you're wondering." Qrow introduced himself answering from the first question.
"I'm Kibo." Kibo said giving Qrow his name to remember.
The two stares at each other for a few seconds before Qrow decides to make the first by charging at the boy swings his sword at his neck, but Kibo blocks it with his hand and push it away before kicks him severely feet back. Qrow stops himself in time to see Kibo fist coming at him in the head, dodge it, then swings his sword at him trying to get a good hit as Kibo also dodges and tries to land a blow on him. They seem to be evenly match when they clash each other's blow severely times, but Qrow smirks as his sword tilted and aims at Kibo's head, he moves his head nearly dodges the dust bullet that came out and jumps back. Kibo is surprises that for someone who is drunk like Qrow he is indeed to strong Huntsman with his blade.
"You a sniper too?" Kibo asked.
"Not much, but I know how to point and to know when to pull the trigger." Qrow bragged.
"Then you better aim carefully, because your next shot could be your downfall." Kibo claimed while cracking his knuckles.
Qrow didn't know what he was talking about, but felt a little exciting to see how's the kid gonna avoid a shot to the head from a few feet closer. He shot another dust bullet at Kibo expecting him to dodge it.
"Nishi Shinkū Ha (Two-Finger Nil-Space Grasp)" Kibo caught the dust bullet between his two fingers and sent it right back at Qrow with the same speed or faster and trajectory. Qrow gasps at this and dodges it barely being hit as the bullet hit a tree from behind.
Qrow look at his chest, seeing his shirt has a big ripped hole in it where the bullet passed. He looks back at Kibo who ready himself for more fight between them, seeing how the kid remains himself of his friend Taiyang, he now sees he's going to have to get serious now.
Qrow press a button on the halt of the sword as the gears making some clicking sounds and the sword changes into a big long scythe.
"That weapon definitely suits you, that proves to be your strongest spirit." Kibo commented.
"Thanks, now you're about to see just how dangerous I can be!" Qrow excited.
The two charges at each other into clashes of fists vs blade; colliding, blocking, and countering each other's moves blow for blow. During this, Kibo sense goodness in his eyes and feel his soul being pure, which makes him question if Qorw had any connection with the bandits like he has some grudges against them. Qrow kicks him in the knee making Kibo lose balance to swing his scythe faster with the gunshot boost but Kibo is able to duck under and uppercut-kick the older fighter sending him flying back as he crashes onto a tree. Kibo got up then quickly notices a ripped hole on the side of his shirt seem to have come from Qrow, he must've strike when Kibo kicked him.
"Not bad kid, you, being at the proper age to go any big combat schools no problem." Qrow complimented Kibo looks confuses.
"But wouldn't I have to be 15 to get in to those schools." Kiba aksed now confusing Qrow.
"Wait, you're saying you're even 17-years-old?" Qrow asked Kibo nodded.
"I'm 15 actually." Kibo answered. Qrow simply laughs that he got the kid's age wrong, seeing as he is a bit over 6 feet tall assuming he's 17, and his friend, Ozpin, wants to join his school, now he really wants to see how awesome Kibo is.
Qrow switch back to shotgun mode and fires smoke dust to cover Kibo's surrounding with smoke that he won't be able to see. Qrow runs around in the smoke remembering where Kibo is as he remains in his spot waiting for Qrow strike and he did behind silently making sure the kid couldn't detect him, but what he didn't know was that he fell right into Kibo's trap: barrage of fists spurted out of Kibo striking Qrow fast and hard for a while until he is sent back landing hard on the ground.
"(What was that, I know I saw both his hands never moved but I somehow got hit." Qrow thought trying to figure out what just happened.
"What you felt was my Toki no Aura (Fighting Spirit Aura), you could say it's a very high evolved version of the aura we know, radiates from the body and manifests it into something deadly like being hit by a barrage of fists." Kibo explained as he starts glowing of his aura coursing all over his body.
"Anything else from that 'Mighty Aura' of yours?" Qrow asked playfully though he's going to wish he hasn't ask that.
Kibo smirks a bit, reeling his left arm back as his hand glows of his aura. Qrow now felt a little scare of what may happen next.
"You've got to be-"
"Hokuto Gōshō Ha (Iron Palm Wave)" Kibo fires an aura/Ki blast at Qrow who narrowly dodges as the attack hit severely trees and they all fall down.
Qrow gasps to what he just saw; Kibo uses his very weapon like some kind of energy attack which has rarely been done before in centuries in the history of Remnant. Kibo walks up the shock Qrow offering him a hand.
"So, about this message from your friend?" Kibo asked, seem to have believe he had already won this fight, and Qrow knows it too well if that continue on, he took his hand and got.
Qrow dusted himself clear a bit and clear his throat, look at Kibo in the eye.
"My friend, Professor Ozpin, wants you to come to Beacon Academy this year." Qrow said Kibo is shock that this Ozpin guy wants him to come to his school, that he even knew his master from what Qrow said earlier before the fight. The he remembers something his master said before his passing.
(Flashback)
Alone in a room with a fire is lit up in the chemmy and two figures in there. One is Kibo and the other resting on his bed is Kibo Master who raised him like his own. He's slowly dying from his age while saying his final words his to successor.
"When you go out for your journey, follow the 'Beacon' where your biggest adventure starts."
With that, the fire suddenly snuffed out leaving the room in darkness. Kibo's Master is now dead, his soul his left this world.
(Flashback End)
"(Master Kenshiro.)" Kibo thought realizing that Beacon Academy is the 'Beacon' his Master told him to go to, believing that destiny has brought Qrow to show him the way.
"I accept his invitation!" Kibo determined decided that Beacon Academy will be his path to become stronger to fight the world and feel as there is something dark will come in the future.
(Unknown Location)
An unknown boy, mediating in a dark wasteland area where the sky is red, shot his eyes open as they glow demonic red, he wears a full-body black armor with a black and red cape. He feels his body itching in both pain and excitement like something is calling to him for a fight. He looks up to the sky seeing the Big Dipper shining brightly.
"So, Hokuto Shinken has finally raise onto Remnant once more." The dark boy smirked, he walks towards the big building on top of a mountain surrounded by all kinds of Grimm as they spurted out of the black oozing pool, oddly they avoided the armor boy as if they are afraid of him despite being human as dark-purple and black aura amenities from his body.
He has been waiting his whole life to fight against Hokuto Shinken ever since the day he started training as a toddler from the very woman who seeks to destroy Remnant.
"Better tell my beloved Salem this news, after all, can't be future king of the world without his Queen and his other mates." He said.
The scene raises to the broken moon in the red sky before the screen fades into black.
